This Week's Hacker Challenge: Create Something For Your Home With Duct Tape

Duct tape is a great way to stick things together, but we're looking for something a little more. Your mission: use duct tape to create a cool hack for use around your home. You can use other materials, of course, but duct tape should be the centerpiece of your hack and not just what you use to hold your hack together. We've talked a lot about duct tape before and we're really looking for new and useful hacks—not just your basic duct tape wallet.

Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. We'll be looking for clever ideas we haven't seen before, so don't be afraid to get creative.

How to Submit Your Entry

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:

Post your entry below or send it to challenge@lifehacker.com with the subject MacGyver Challenge: Home Duct Tape Hack. If you post your entry below and need to include more than one image, just reply to your own comment or host your extra pics on a free, quick image-hosting site like imgur and link out to your gallery.

We will accept entries up through Sunday night, September 30 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time

We will showcase the best submissions and announce our favorite Monday, October 1.

So put on your leather flight jacket (mullet optional) and start channeling those MacGyver vibes. Here's a little theme music to put you in the mood. And don't forget to check back every week for a new challenge. We'll be alternating between Hacker Challenges and MacGyver Challenges.
